New Release of Satourne

[JonnyCasino]

Well I got the new release and unfortunately it wont even start for me, I have the saturn bios, all updated drivers, dx8.1, running windows xp pro and as soon as I double click it I get an error with the debugger.exe.

Ive tried all the compatibility modes of xp and they all still crash, full pc specs are:



Athlon XP 2200+
128mb GF4 Ti 4200
512mbs pc2700
Epox 8K3A+ KT333
SoundBlaster Live 5.1 Plat
40gb 7200rpm Maxtor
40gb 7200rpm Nikimi
Windows XP Pro

Id love to get this running although I guess only for curiosity purposes since theres a modded saturn sitting behind me.

Cheers

Ok no replies but I now think I know the prob by trying to read the readme file, do i need all four files he stated that win2000 needed eg winaspi.dll, wowpost.exe, wnaspi32.dll and aspi32.sys? If so then thats my prob as I only have wnaspi32.dll, if I do need those other 3 files where can i grab them unless its something I shouldnt be asking then Ill do that myself.

You can download an aspi layer at www.ngemu.com

Check the epsxe downloads section.. I got the new satourne running, but it wasn't pretty.. And most games kept gettin sh2 errors.. All games ran at around 10 fps on my system with my voodoo 5 and 16 fps with my geforce 4 ti 4600.. Guess we'll have to wait a little longer for a fully playable saturn emu..

I tested:

Tomb Raider
Panzer Dragoon
Gardian Heroes
SFz3
DD collection
Daytona usa CCE..

I get a Saturn Bios non trouve message but i have 2 versions of the bios and have tried them all - please help!!!

Yeah fivefeet I knew the fps wasnt going to be great that has been stated constantly by the author but its more like i said for curiosity, as I have a modded saturn to play all the great games on anyway eg radiant silvergun, pdsaga, nights, but having it running 1600*1200 at 5fps on a monitor will still kinda be cool.

Grant, did you rename the bios to saturn_bios.bin

[Grant64]

Yeah thats it!!! I am an idiot - I read it on tha Lizez moi file.

JonnyCasino: if the problem is the missing aspi layer u can get one here: http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/sup...=aspi_v470.exe

that one worked for me using windows xp, so u have a good chance that 2000 will too

Too bad I can't find a resolution option anywhere.. There is only 1x, 2x, ect.. No resolution options..

The aspi thing got it working for me under xp only tried out one game cause I was shattered then realised I hadnt configured any buttons so couldnt do any thing but any way the startup and last bronx title screen ere doing 15 - 23 fps. I suspect that it would have been much lower in game.
